What did people do before tourism took over the Dalmatian coast? Here in Jesenice, they built ships. Jesenice is a small town on the coast between Split and Omiš, known for its beautiful beaches and quiet atmosphere. But it wasn’t always a haven for sunbathers and swimmers. Jesenice has a long shipbuilding history, dating back over 300 years. The villagers were known for their skill in crafting wooden sailing ships, called “salbunjera.” These sturdy vessels weren’t built for leisurely cruises. They were workhorses, used to extract sand from the mouths of the Cetina and Neretva rivers. This sand was vital for construction and other industries, making the shipbuilders of Jesenice essential to the regional economy. Today, many of the villagers have turned their skills to tourism, offering apartments and rooms for rent and operating restaurants. But the legacy of shipbuilding lives on. Some of those old “salbunjera” have been repurposed, now taking visitors on tours of the stunning Dalmatian coast. It’s a beautiful reminder of Jesenice’s resourceful past and its ability to adapt and thrive.
